Since her divorce from Chen Xiao in February, Michelle Chen has been actively taking on new projects. Her new dramas, "Hidden Sea" and "Dear Enemy," have both received positive reviews. Her romance series with young actor Zhou Keyu, "Sniping the Butterfly," is also highly anticipated. On the 24th, she announced yet another piece of good news: In September, she will make her stage play debut, collaborating with theatre master Stan Lai. She quoted the theme of the play, using it to inspire herself: "Only you can decide how to step forward."
On February 18th, Michelle Chen announced her divorce. On March 9th, she shared a photo on social media for the first time revealing her life post-divorce—she went to Shanghai to support Stan Lai's classic stage production, "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land." She mentioned a line from the play, "Some places cannot be revisited just because you want to, and some things cannot be forgotten just because you say so." She reflected, saying: "Life is full of helplessness and impermanence. Everyone is searching for their own peach blossom land, but once you really find it, is it truly what you want? Or do you need to learn to accept and let go?" Her words coincided with her feelings about divorce.
At the time, Chen took warm photos with director Stan Lai and his wife Ding Naizhu. Now that the collaboration is confirmed, she will star from September 29th to October 5th in Shanghai in Stan Lai's newly written and directed 10th anniversary "Theatre Above" production, "Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water." Together with Theatre Above actor Dou Jin, she will portray the dual female leads "Hua" and "Yue," chronicling their lives from youth to old age. Next January 16th and 17th, the play will also move to the Hangzhou Grand Theatre.
Michelle Chen expressed her excitement: "The play 'Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water' is coming! The stage I have longed for, a brand new experience and challenge, and being able to work with the highly respected Teacher Lai is so thrilling! 'Only you can decide how to step forward.' Turn left, turn right. I look forward to everyone joining me on Yue's life journey. See you at Theatre Above in Shanghai and Hangzhou Grand Theatre!"
